Good question! Here are a few viable methods for getting to an answer while benefiting the community:
(1) Ask on http://lockergnome.net/ – but watch your punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling. The best questions and answers are featured elsewhere! Start building your karma now.
(2) You could assert your needs in a full blog or forum post through your account on http://geeks.pirillo.com/ – be as detailed as possible – you always have to provide perspective if you expect to find the solution(s).
(3) It’s possible that, after lurking (and being polite), you could get the question answered in the chat room at http://live.pirillo.com/ if the room is currently unmoderated. Immaturity and rudeness are not tolerated here (or anywhere else in my community, for that matter).
(4) There are people who track me and participate on Twitter and Facebook. You might throw the question out to http://twitter.com/chrispirillo or posting as a fan on http://www.facebook.com/chrispirillo anytime.
(5) I’ve also set up a set of dedicated forums for tech-specific support at http://help.lockergnome.com/ – you could pose the same question here, in the hopes that a different part of our community will see it.
(6) If you really need my help (personally or professionally), I do have hourly rates and am available for pre-paid phone or Skype consults – which may be overkill for what you’re trying to discover. This option is more along the line of long-term business coaching and NOT tech support, however (and it’s priced accordingly).
(7) Once you’ve discovered your answer, if you’d like to share it with the community, we accept guest blog posts on http://chris.pirillo.com/ and http://www.lockergnome.com/ all the time (so long as the post is written well). It’s a way to help the next person who needs it!
(8) As a side note, WHENEVER you’re ready to buy something online, you should search either http://tagjag.com/ or http://coupons.lockergnome.com/ to support our community efforts. We’ve also set up http://download.lockergnome.com/ if your solution could actually be found in software. When you’re ready to set up or move your own blog, we have http://premium.lockergnome.net/ available, too.

I have everything set up and have checked/compared settings with a friend. I can now send emails from my iTouch and the message comes up in the Sent box, however I cannot Receive on my iTouch ? I’ve asked for emails to remain on the Server. what else do I have to do ?

Contact your mail provider – if the information isn’t already (overtly) in some kind of FAQ.

You should contact the University’s IT department.

I have been working on this issue for weeks! My sons ipod works perfectly on the same computer. I have changed my account and password several times, reset ipod. Done every single suggestion that I come across on the many blogs I have looked at… nothing is working. I can receive emails through gmail on my ipod, but I cannot send them. Again, I have triple checked my settings, everything is right… exactly as my sons, and his works great. Please someone tell me something that will work, that hasn’t been mentioned in other blogs. Thanks so much!

My G mail worked fine and still does , When I followed Chris Prillo directions it connected to gmail and indicated the address. It had a place to send on the right side but aftrer several more attempts it said no message sent.

I stopped at the Apple store after I bought it and they had it working in ten minutes. I had a few days to fool with it (with no Wi-Fi) and it stopped sending again) Since everything is new and there is very little written its tough) This is as good as it got for me so far) I’ll keep seeing what I can do.
